I have been with my Fiancé for 2 years and she has 2 beautiful 6 year old daughters by my best friend who was killed in Iraq 6 years ago. I helped raise them from the time they were 3 months old, we live in North Carolina but I'm currently Deployed to Afghanistan and we will be Married when I return. I want to a know what do I need to do to Adopt the girls legally? Or will it just be easier once we are married?
